Meet Funmilola Olubajo of Comrade Air

When did you start flying?

I started flying 2007.

What is the craziest thing a passenger did on your flight?

Craziest thing……Lol! I still giggle at the memory! A pax handed me a bottle of Eva water bottle when he was disembarking. Poker faced, he calmly explained that since we didn’t allow him use the lavatory when he wanted to, (We hit weather barely 15mins into d flight) he helped him self! I was like OMG!!!! It’s pee in here!!!!!! Like seriously????????? Wonder what the person seated next to him thought! Lol

Most Memorable flight?

Most memorable….i would say it was the one on which an elderly VVIP waited for everyone to disembark, called me, and said Lola, you are very kind, God bless you. I was touched, and that’s because he didn’t say I was pretty (which is d norm! Lol!) or that my safety briefing was on point . He appreciated my person. The encounter just made me realize that a lil act of kindness goes a long way. And from then on, I made a conscious effort to make it so that no matter what’s going on with me personally, I always try to give my clients the best of me.

Do you Enjoy the Job?

Yes! I love, love, love my job. It’s the best ever!!!!! Lol! It’s taken me places, made me meet people I probably never would have come across ordinarily, and every day I learn something new. It’s a wonderful job, really. It’s a calling, and I feel blessed being one of the called.

Happy flying! More photos after the Cut..
